Intermittent LED lighting helps reduce energy costs when growing microgreens on vertical controlled environment farms

Abstract

Abstract The article discusses the possibility of reducing energy costs when growing microgreens in controlled environment farms by using intermittent LED lighting. Intermittent lighting allows you to use the watch with the lowest electricity price during the day. Studies have shown that light / dark 8/4 hours a day for 2 periods is cost-effective. Electricity costs can be reduced by up to 10%. At the same time, the yield does not decrease.
